Coventry is a secret pocket of Rhode Island history, and the past gets a lively jolt at Paine House Museum’s 7th Annual Heritage Day with music performances by the Providence Brigade Band and demonstrations by the Rhode Island Spinners Guild. Take a free tour of Paine house (ca. 1691), try out candle dipping, weaving, butter making, pumpkin painting and other crafts. Have your kids try the “fast-food of olden times,” with old-fashioned hot dogs, johnny cakes, popcorn, Birch beer, sarsaparilla, and cider.
